Commenting upon the manner in whkh some of New Bern's mer chants advertise their business, the Washington News anys: "A person who had never been to New Bern, and who happened to pick up the papers i ssued i n that city, would immediately arrive at the conclusion that Dunn's and Coplon's were the leading stores of that city. In nearly ever ease, a stranger judg es the size of the 9tore by the size of the advertising space i t uses." New Bern merchants, - and more especially the two mentioned above, have great faith in advertising and they will tell you that is was by ad vertising that their business hat reached its present size and state of prosperity. Not only in New Bern is there a movement on foot to get the citi zens to pay their bills but in every city and town in the country such is being waged and it is having some effect. Merchants cannot continue to do business unlaw they can col lect for the goods they sell and every time that a merchant is fore ad to oloee his doors, a community in th loser thereby. In behalf of the man who is thus imposed upon a subscriber of th Greensboro New write that paper tba following In tarctling lott.r: "I would like to write a few lino for yo ir paper and make a plan for the retail grocers of yonr ity and other cities a well. s 1 hT noticed a good deal in your paper about compelling the gro ear to keep elaaa and sanitary ttor.

New Bern challenged Pollocksville, Who never lets a good thing fall, To come down on July the 8th, And play a game of ball. Pollocksville went over there, And at four p. m., they say, Was promptly at the diamond, To engage into the play. The play begun to run alright, Things were moving on all fair, And New Bern saw if thus it went, She would not in it share. She then called change of Umpire, Thinking thus to win the fight, As by some clyke of ruling, Pollocksville might not be treated right. But Pollocksville was quick to say, We will not permit this shame, For we come here to New Bern, To play an honest game. They were sure surprised that New Barn, Would resort to such a thing, For the New Bern Boy at Pollocks ville, Were treated aa grand as kings. But about this little matter, We will not make a fuss, But hope New Bern will treat her future company Better than she did u. Right here we say to New Bern, And we mean it not in fun, A prise is never valued, Unless honestly won. : .1 , 1 ...... me in mowiug " i.; thia he went to his room 7 . . .. j j w h found his wue anu eon ore . i He told them to go down stairs u hat he would follow them within a few minutes. i :..i ,i,;iinir that she wouia .

If there is any short age in the funds of the institution, the money has been taken since that time. State Bank Examiner Hubbard has been notified of the affair and requested to come to Orientf.1 as ouicklv as possihle and make an examination, and nothing definite will be known until this can be done. In addition to being cashier of the bank, Mr. Miller was also a member of the Board of Commissioners of the town and held other positions of trust. His family is and has been for years one of the most prom inent in the county and among the surviving members are four sisters, Miss Minnie Miller, of Oriental; Mrs, Mabel Gibbs, of Bayborq; Mrs. Garland Rice of Maribel; and Mrs. Wallace Gaskins of Stonewall. He has been cashier of the bank at Oriental for eight or nine years, be fore that time being connected with the National Bank of this city. Hubbard In City State Bank Examiner Hubbard ar rived in the city this morning from Raleigh accompanied by Fish Com missioner Gibbs of Oriental, who was in the capital city when news of the tragedy reached there. Mr. Hubbard and Mr. Gibbs will leave for Oriental at an early this morning on board of a motor ear and the former will begin making an investi gation of the bank's affairs as soon as possible after reaching there. George H. Roberts of this city is the president of the bank of which Mr. Miller was the cashier. Mr. Roberts was in New York yesterday and was notified of the tragedy by wire. He i expected to arrive in the city today and will go to Orien tal at once. W. W.

These concert are to be given every Wednesday even ing during the remainder of the sum- in this subject was manifested by the large number of members who were in attendance, On September 7 an election to decide whether the section on the South side of Neuse river and in Craven county, shall be placed in the stock law territory is to be held and to this is attributable the marked interest being manifest in the subject just at this particular time. Interesting1 Talks There were a number of interest ing talks made on the subject dur ing the evening and among those who had a few words to day were L. I. Moore, W. P. Aberly and C. E. Foy. Each one of these gentlemen explained in detail the benefits that could be derived from having tne stock law in effect and cited instances to prove that they were right. Shows Them F. G. Battle, manager of the Cra ven Chemical Company told of hav ing taken a party of interested per sons out to Graham Richardson's farm yesterday afternoon and show ing them the fine stock to be found there and on which a cattle tick has never been found. Mr. Battle took a number of photographs of these animals and will place these where they will prove of real worth and do some good. Mr. Battle and Mr. W F. Aberly were placed on the public ity committee who have charge of the work of waging the campaign to bring about the success of the election. Taken as a whole the meeting might be termed as one In which the eradi cation of the oattle tick from the stock and farms of ( 'raven county, was the predominating subject and that real good will come from it there is not the slightest doubt. of personal troubles of which friends of the.dcad man knew nothing about. Funeral Held The funeral services over the re mains .f tie suicide was conducted from the home yesterday afternoon by Rev. B. F. Huske, rector of Hhrist Eniscopal church of this city, nd was largely attended, Ihein. terment was made in the cemetery at Oriental, , Mrs. Miller i s said to be prostrated over the sad tragedy and . her con dition is serious. In the first accounts of the suiciae was stated that at one time he was connected with the National Rank in this city. Such an impres sion was gained from the fact that before he went to Oriental to take harire of the bank thore, he was l n the local bank getting a few points and instructions for his work and was not connected with the institution TAR HEEL BOYS. HAVE MADE G ID n any way. Was Despondent Several citizens of Oriental spent .. . -ft T . 1ft ftnj AM yesterday in new dwu asked to give their opinion of what motive Miller had in taking his life. None oould or would answer this question, and each seemed as much in the dark as others interested in tho case. It is known, however, that Mr. Miller had seemed des pondent for several days prior to the day on which he blew out his brains and this had caused him to have a failing appetite and he had eaten but little, in fact, had token np breakfast on Monday morning. Definite News louay If then is a shortage in the funds of the bank, Examiner Hubbard will probably discover this today and will, possibly, make it known to the public & sucu proves to be the case. x WAREHOUSES TO 0PEN0NAUG. 18 New Bern Tobacco Market to Open on That Date In N.
